A couple of years ago I rested the near full watering can on a small stone, well, I won't even call it a wall, more of a divider in the garden...
It had been hot that day... I just didn't think it had been that hot...
The base of the watering can decided to reshape itself more to the shape of the stone that it was resting on...
But there wasn't really enough plastic to go round... ha ha...
I went to pick up the watering can and it was a lot lighter than I thought it should be... ha ha.
It's a bit like when the "Fuel tank empty" light comes on, just as you get home, and there's dinner to make, and three loads of washing to do and How? How? am I going to get around this little dilemma? ha ha...
It's okay! There's "The spare"! ha ha...
One of those little half litre, suitable for the indoor plants, watering cans....
Sixteen trips back and forth from the tap, later... ha ha... it was all fixed up...
Needless to say I got a new watering can... A decent sized one...
I did think about getting a metal one...
Very, very briefly....
Somehow the thought of absent mindedly grabbing the handle, with a bare hand, was enough to convince me otherwise, ha ha.
There is also the minor factette that metal watering cans are harder to see into than plastic ones...
Should there be something in there, of an eight legged and I don't mean a lobster, variety, ha ha, I think I'd like to know, before I'm holding the can at head height, filling something... and possibly dislodging something else in the process of doing so... ha ha.
Although if it were a lobster, that would be kind of amusing...
It could live in the bath, until the agonised shriek... ha ha.
"I don't care what it is, it's not staying there...!"...
Great, there goes my evening, spent on the computer trying to find lobster rehoming services, in my area... ha ha.
All told, I think I'll stick with the plastic watering can... It just seems to me to be the easier choice, ha ha.
